Photographer Finn Beales has a project called 72 Hours In. In it, he spends time in countries around the world taking photographs of his surroundings.

Places that have featured in the series so far include Newfoundland, Hong Kong and St Lucia.

But Wales - which is where Finn lives - also features. These are some of the pictures.

Finn grew up in Hay on Wye, now famous around the world, of course, as the location of the Hay Festival. It's the festival that kick-started the 72 Hours In project because it's where he worked as a staff photographer.

"They also have overseas events which run over the course of a weekend, giving me 72 hours to capture each one," he said.

"The job took me to many different countries around the world with a brief to capture a sense of place as well as the event itself. I enjoy documenting something using a series of images, creating context by shooting incidental moments that work together with seller images to develop a narrative or storyline. It’s this that helps establish a sense of place, especially important when overseas and the audience is back at home."

Here are more of his pictures from Wales.

Finn doesn't caption his images.

He says: "I’d rather my images relay the story. That’s what I love about photography. It’s up to the viewer to interpret the image themselves."

And while his photography takes him all over the world - the 72 Hours In project also features India, Morocco and Mexico - he has based himself in the Brecon Beacons.

"There is a reason why I’m based here. Spectacular landscape whatever the season," he said.

The project has now morphed into an ongoing diary.

"Whenever I am commissioned to shoot a job, I try to carve out some time to create some imagery for the series. It also helps inform my commercial work - advertising photography is all about storytelling at the end of the day," Finn said.
